USB To 3-Pin/4-Pin Cables
I found the cheapest USB to 3-pin and 4-pin fan cables on Shopee, at S$1.56 and S$1.41. I like that they include an on/off switch, much easier than re-plugging, handy for my spare Arctic P12 fan.

The Revov Tray Box is a modular box organiser with adjustable dividers and a magnetic rotating tray cover, born as a Kickstarter from Mordeco. As an early bird, I got it for US$52 plus US$6 shipping to Singapore.

Projector Tray For Tripod Mount
Rather than buy a pricier projector stand for my LUMOS Auro, I got an OEM projector tray for my existing tripod. Bought on Lazada for S$14.87, it includes a steel tray, non-slip pad, and screw.

A companion to Satechi's Apple Watch dock, the USB-C AirPods Wireless Charging Dock charges AirPods and AirPods Pro. Retailing for S$41.74 on Amazon.sg, its two-tone Space Grey and White design matches a Space Grey MacBook or iPad Pro.
LUMOS Auro Home Projector Review
Lumos is a home-grown Singaporean company making affordable home-cinema projectors. Its first product, the LUMOS Auro, comes in regular and smart variants, the regular lacking Android, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, so it needs an external media player.

The Satechi USB-C Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock retails for S$51.99. A one-piece charger with no dangling cable, it plugs straight into a MacBook or iPad Pro's USB-C port and is MFi certified.
Changing Circles.Life Physical SIM to Circles.Life eSIM
Circles.Life launched eSIM support, letting existing customers switch from 23rd July 2020. The process was far from intuitive on the app and website, so I share the key URL, shop.circles.life/manage/order, to make the switch easier.

For three years I used a S$60 Taobao desk, but COVID-driven work-from-home and a wish for better posture pushed me toward a height-adjustable one. This review covers my upgrade to the Omnidesk Pro 2020 standing desk.
Clear Hard Plastic Case for Apple AirPods Pro
I wanted an AirPods Pro case for under S$10, and found Veticore on Lazada specialising in them. Oddly the plain clear case cost more than printed ones, so I picked the off-white print version for S$4.79.
Apple AirPods Pro
iShopChangi's People's Choice Deals advertised the AirPods Pro at S$295, well below the S$379 RRP. Catching it was frustrating, though: the sale didn't drop at midnight, but at noon the next day, requiring constant refreshing.
Zendure A3 Power Bank
Zendure offered a free power bank to anyone who'd blogged about their products, so I emailed them, having covered the SuperTank and 63W charger before. They sent the Zendure A3 Power Bank, which retails for US$69.99.

After seeing a SUPERADRIANME review, I bought the Bebird M9 Pro from Lazada, paying just S$38.90. It's a smart visual ear-cleaning rod with a 3MP CMOS camera and Wi-Fi, pairing with the Bebird app.

Ugreen Braided USB-C to Lightning Cable
I bought the 50cm Ugreen Braided USB-C to Lightning Cable from Lazada for S$13.77. Ugreen makes high-quality cables cheaply, and at that price it's among the cheapest braided MFi USB-C to Lightning cables you'll find.
